Yokomo YD-2SXIII graphite high traction chassis

For the YD-2SXIII, Yokomo have introduced this new main chassis made of graphite that changes the running characteristics of the machine by drastically changing the shape. Although optimised for the YD-2SXIII, the screw hole positions on the main chassis are the same, so E-series gearboxes and rear motor conversions can also be installed. While using the 2.5 mm thick plate material common to the YD-2 series graphite chassis, it has been slimmed down overall and has been significantly lightened, so it can be used on low grip road surfaces such as P tiles and coloured concrete. In particular, the area around the rear is designed to be as thin as possible by slit processing, making it possible to maximise rear traction. This main chassis has the perfect characteristics when you want to improve the stability of drifting in corners.

JConcepts Finnisher magnetic wrench & wheel nuts

JConcepts is making the job of taking your tires on and off a little easier with the release of the Finnisher magnetic T-handle wrench. With the locking wheel nuts of today such as the new JConcepts serrated wheel nuts, the initial spin is always easy, however, once you lock, it’s important to have a T-handle to clinch against the wheel. One of the trends is to feature a magnet inside the wrench to allow for quicker or user-friendly tire changing and maintenance. The wrench is designed so a driver can quickly spin with the tip of the wrench in a conventional style and then move lower to the T-handle portion to lock into position. The main structure of the design is aluminium and anodised blue, while the T-handle is constructed of steel with a black oxide finish attached to aluminium finger paddles for the feel and touch to adjust easier and with less pain. The wrench has etched size and JC logos for authenticity and identification.
